Since both were announced by writers, I expect the mass renewal of their shows any minute now
ReplyDeleteYeah for Mom
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, I love both!!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed 2BG is next.
ReplyDelete2BG is a sure thing :)
ReplyDeleteYes, i love Mom
ReplyDeleteMike and Molly is the show i usually have 3-4 episodes and after i watch all my favorite shows and have nothing else to watch, then i watch Mike and Molly, so i am happy it was renewed, but if it was cancelled, i wouln't mind
I hope 2BG is next
Yay "Mom"!!! With "Parks and Recreation" finished, it's my favorite sitcom right now AND was probably my only show on the bubble. Yay!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat for both! now give me the 2 Broke Girl renewal too!
ReplyDeleteWow. I stoppe watching Mike & Molly long ago, but great for them. That's nice.
ReplyDeleteSurprised 2 Broke Girls wasn't squeezed in the renewal bunch; though it will obviously be added too.
ReplyDeleteNice to see both shows coming back :)
Should happen pretty soon, CBS has made multiple renewals for like 4 years now
ReplyDeleteAnd where's the rest of CBS renewals?
ReplyDeleteProbably incoming; this one was handed out by the writers
ReplyDeleteVery happy about Mom's renewal. But still waiting on those mass renewals that CBS has been doing in recent years.
ReplyDeleteeek, i know everyone says 2bg is a sure thing, but I'm kinda nervous it not being lumped in here is a bad sign :/
ReplyDeleteLet them hurry. I was planning to go to sleep lol.
ReplyDeleteI think these weren't intended to come out like this, I think CBS will issue the huge batch of renewals very soon and these just happened to leak before!
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I am super glad for Mom, it is one my favorite comedies for sure and I absolutely adore it, appointment TV.
Nah, it really is a sure thing, don't worry.
ReplyDeleteMom was a certain renewal all season long, it was never on the bubble.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think these two were an accident in being leaked. CBS should be announcing the whole batch pretty soon.
ReplyDeletedefinitely agree about Mom!
ReplyDeleteI am crossing my fingers that H50 is included in the next big batch that is sure to come soon now. I think it will but I am not sure. My other CBS shows are either sure to be (Person of Interest, The Good Wife), have already been renewed (The Big Bang Theory, Scorpion, Madam Secretary, Mom) or they won't be at all (Stalker).
ReplyDeletelet's imagine for one second that Stalker gets renewed... nah I'm torturing myself
ReplyDeleteThink anymore will be announced today? Fingers crossed for Hawaii Five-0!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut then will both H50 and Blue Bloods be in the batch? I can't imagine they renew H50 but cancel BB.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's still doing good in its new time slot. Yay!!
ReplyDeleteI really hope Hawaii Five-0 will be renewed! I don't know what I will do if it gets cancelled.....
ReplyDeleteDon't watch these, I just need 2BG renewed and all my CBS shows are renewed then :) 2BG is a sure thing but it's nice to have it official.
ReplyDeleteI agree,these weren't supposed to leak.I expect a mass renewal announcement confirmed by CBS tommorrow
ReplyDeleteWhy is it sure to come soon ?
ReplyDeletewhen is the rest of the CBS renewal coming? Could be later today.....just to troll with fans?
ReplyDeleteYes, hoping for H50
ReplyDeleteBlue Bloods is as sure as it gets imo.
ReplyDeleteThey always do their renewals in a big bunch.
ReplyDeletewhy is H50 not safe? Grimm have similar numbers for CBS so h50 should be fine
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree. Was just thinking if both H50 and BB are renewed, there would not be a lot of space for newbies. But then perhaps they can hold off some reality shows. Maybe TAR moving to summer.
ReplyDeleteAmazing news! Both are my favourite sit-coms right now :)
ReplyDeleteSad that TVBTN blocked me when they reported the news. LoL, I guess they're blocking anyone who reminds them over the "BATB nonsense".
ReplyDeleteI think TAR will be kept out of the fall schedule, Stalker and Cyber cancelled, CSI and Battle Creek cancelled and Mike and Molly kept out of the fall schedule. That, together with the sure to be replaced Big Bang reran half hour, is already 4 hours open for new programming, 3 dramas and 2 comedies.
ReplyDeleteLol they went downhill so so fast...it's kinda sad :P I've stopped going there completely now
ReplyDeleteCBS has considerable higher numbers for their dramas than NBC, so Grimm numbers are higher relatively speaking than H50's.
ReplyDeleteThe only two Chuck Lorre i can stand.
ReplyDeleteSad, isn't it? Good thing I have an alternative Disqus account.
ReplyDeleteLol, I usually just harass the bear on twitter :P
ReplyDeleteAnd what I said not even violating any rules. Mine's nothing compared to far worse comments that are more likely left unblocked.
ReplyDeleteRenew Person of Interest...NOW
ReplyDeleteRENEW STALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat for Mom!
ReplyDeleteI really like Mike and Molly.
ReplyDeleteThey are sore losers
ReplyDeleteThey can always pull a The Mentalist on The Good Wife and air the final season during breaks
ReplyDeleteTypical of them. They are an arrogant bunch.
ReplyDeleteLOL They are such a sad bunch.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I like it; I don't see it happening.
ReplyDeleteEh, I was nervous about it. Its ratings last year were on the low side and they bounced around its time slot and premiere date a few times.
ReplyDeleteBut that's all moot now! Celebrate good times, c'mon!
The sad thing is, I wasn't even among those who were commenting against TVBTN when they first posted the article about your scoop apart from reading the comments section.
ReplyDeleteIt was only when the official press statement about the renewal was released a day or two later that I posted my thoughts about it.
Same here. I used to visit the website multiple times a day.
ReplyDeleteNow I don't visit the website at all. Just SpoilerTV for me :)
TV News + Fun Discussion = I'm happy
And the site is just consantly improving, it's awesome :)
ReplyDeleteGreat news for the fans-Congratulations!
ReplyDeletenormally i agree with that, but i can't lose that show!!!
ReplyDeleteI just hope we get to see the remaining episodes.
ReplyDeleteDramas next please.
ReplyDelete2 Broke Girls better stay on the air until until they turn into 2 Rich Girls. I enjoy it's dark and sexual humor. They make fun of absolutely everyone and I respect them for that. If you're a comedy show and you're not offending half the people who what you, then my interest flatlines.
ReplyDeleteC'mon CBS, give me those drama renewals.
ReplyDeleteSame here, I'm really waiting for them.
ReplyDeleteAAHHH 2 BROKE GIRLS!! So deserved.
ReplyDeleteI am so ready to stop worrying about my shows.
ReplyDelete2BG o/
ReplyDeleteYAY 2BG! though I'm surprised this isn't being announced with dramas. maybe dramas are later today?
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about their dramas
ReplyDeleteYay 2 BGs,used to like M& M before the retooling,
ReplyDeletePlease renew CSI (Las Vegas) and Criminal Minds !
ReplyDeletekeeps singing in weird tone: "DramasDramas. Dramadrama Dramaas. Waiting forever for the dramas. Dramadrama Dramaaaas"
ReplyDeleteRenew Person of Interest today CBS. Please. That's the only show I care about.
ReplyDeleteCBS is going to renew its drama only in May for sure... There's still lot of shows whose fate is not certain like H5O, CSI, CSI Cyber, TGW, PoI...
ReplyDeleteThe only shows we can sure they are going to cancel and Battle Creek and probably Stalker
how much of the retooled m&m have you seen? because i totally agree - season 4 was like a little much/felt like a totally different show, but i think season 5 kind of feels like the old show!
ReplyDeleteSomeofseasonfour and some of seasonfive
ReplyDeleteSame, POI is the only CBS show I watch.
ReplyDeleteah fair, then the retooling is def not for you. it is a bummer that the writers messed with the show. though i like it still, i totally see how its like "if aint broke...don't fix it" and they tried and drove away a lot of viewers
ReplyDeleteThey always renew in March. They will do so again this year. The shows that aren't renewed could possibly get a renewal in May (like The Mentalist) or will be canceled.
ReplyDeleteI watch TBBT as well, but that's been renewed until Season 10.
ReplyDelete2 Broke Girls, Uhu Uhu!
ReplyDeleteS2
Although there was no doubt at all, I am so happy about Mom. Love this show!
ReplyDeleteMy 2 favorite comedies on CBS have been renewed!!!
ReplyDelete2 Broke Girls and Mommmm
Yaay 2BG
